Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

I can't hate on Drizzt too much, it was very kind of him to lend CHARNAME his scimitars in BG1

The drow paladin whom you can recruit into your party really gets off on genocide and can only be recruited if you help her slaughter some tiefling refugees. So don't worry about that.

Minthara my beloved...

slaughter some tiefling refugees

BG3 instabanned in EU. Larian will go bankrupt.

 

[Fedora Master]

Not like the game requires actual adherence to a god anyway, it's all just Domains or Oaths. Lol.

Minthara my beloved...

Didn’t she betray you no matter what? They actually made her a full- fledged companion now?

 

[Gradenmayer]

I was considering between Cleric and Paladin, and I'll go with a Paladin fanatic with no understanding of moral nuance and a simplistic black and white worldview. Let's see how the game handles such a character.

Isn’t that just Oath Of Vengeance, which will be added on release? Don’t think it will struggle in handling it.

Yeah, she's a party member in the full release. Mutually exclusive with Halsin (the infamous bear druid)

Damn, looks like that 33% extra content will pay off. Poor Halsin has no chance of surviving now.

Drow wife wants the world painted red, and I'm going to paint it for her.

 

[General Disarray]

I can't think of another game where you can build a wizad as a melee fighter with summoned magical weapons, and have that be a very effective build. Just as effective as a tradional crowd control wizard build.

Outward.

Rune Mage + Warrior Monk or Hunter + Anything really. Or Spellword for enhance weapons. You can even go Rune Mage + Spellword to enhance your summoned Runic Blade. If you summon a Great Runic Blade it also acts as a lexicon so you don't need the book, which obviously because the great sword is a two handed weapon. And sense you don't care about durability of your summoned blade you can freely use Elemental Discharge off cool down. With a third breakthrough point available for a close combat class.

What a surprise, there's actually a dark elf paladin in game and it's just as cringe as your average redditor

So now nearing the release, what's the thought of having story elements narrated? I personally dislike it. It makes me feel disconnected from the game. Especially since everything is already visually established and animated. It just comes off as unnecessary to me.

narration audio slider, put it at 0%

Ouch, that's a hard pass :D

Its an Adoring Fan character, that you almost certainly want to kill in an amusing way.
Unless you are a cucked paladin, that is.

surely even a cucked paladin can take the back seat while a different party member pushes him off a tall drop?

That was the most based response from a developer, ever.

 

[Spectacle]

It's funny how few people seem to remember that you could talk to NPCs in BG1&2 using party members. It just wasn't a very well-developed feature.

The little lips icon on whichever character's avatar showed who was speaking at a given moment.

There's one scene in BG1 where a random NPC immediately kills anyone who starts a conversation with her. If it was a companion who talked to her, you can then get the NPC to resurrect that companion and then advance the scene, but if it was the main character who talked to the NPC it's an instant game over.

The Lord of the Rings would be so much better if they added 4 hours of dating and sex scenes between all of our favorite characters. We could have Sam sucking Frodo off while Gollum jerks off behind a rock or Legolas could meet a dwarf woman and they could share an emotional moment before cutting to a bondage scene... They'd have to cut out some action and adventure parts but who cares about stupid shit like that?
